to anyone awaiting this book with bated breath with an interest in geography, check out 'Anarchy, Geography, Modernity: the radical social thought of Elisee Reclus' by John Clark. Reclus was much less well-known in anglophone anarchist circles (most of his works aren't in english yet), but his contribution to geography was very important indeed.
Reclus is not totally
Reclus is not totally unknown, there are 2 biographies in English, and Jura Media in Australia reproduced some of his essays and pamphlets. (Make that 3 in English if you include the Clark)
And someone going by the name of CGH Services did the same here nearly 20 years ago - with small run of pamphlets of his essays on anarchism, vegetarianism and the great kinship from the journal "19th century."
Thanks for the information on John Clark book - I've not seen it - and at the price copies go for on Abebooks, I'm unlikely too as well.
Sort of book I wish AK Press would do!

Just had a look and there are 2 titles by Elise Reclus available in UK at very reasonable prices (for antiquarian books) - indeed the p&p is more than the books.
Once I've done my sums I might bid for a couple myself!
have a copy of The Anarchist
have a copy of The Anarchist Way to Socialism, Marie Fleming's biogaphy of Reclus if any one wants to borrow it.
